We just returned from four days in a Lisbon. This was a pleasant apartment in a central location.

A lovely balcony facing the pedestrianized section of Rua do Carmo runs the length of the apartment, and the views of the street and the Elevator Santa Justa are very nice. The balcony is accessible from the living/dining area, and from the largest and the smallest bedrooms. Even so, the apartment is quiet. At times, we could hear loud pedestrians, particularly if the doors to the balcony were open, but it was mostly musicians at night, which was very pleasant.

The location is fabulous, with quick access to cafés (two cafés steps from the apartment - both recommended, one for ambiance, and the other - Eric Kayser- for fabulous bread, croissants, fresh orange juice, huge egg breakfast spreads, and sandwiches). There are two grocery stores within 2-3 blocks. One is vegetarian, and the other has everything you could need (but can be crowded). Restaurants, cafés and shops abound. Plus, the metro, train and taxis are all available.

Turning back to the apartment, the living/dining and two of the bedrooms have air-conditioning and the third (smallest) has a fan. That one could get a bit stuffy, but it worked for us. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the washer and dryer were a plus. The TV with English-speaking programs was a plus, as was the wifi for our teen boys. Very helpful written instructions are provided for the electronics and the greeter (Helena) was very helpful.

We had a bit of a problem either the air-conditioner leaking, but we reported it and the problem was quickly taken care of. The manager and the owner were both in great contact.

Overall, this was pleasant and we adored Lisbon and plan to return to the city again. The apartment could be updated. The on demand water heater was a bit limited, and some attention could be paid to amenities. For example, more than two trash bags and two dishwasher tabs and one clothes washing tab would be helpful. This apartment ranks above some basic summer homes we've stayed in, and was pleasant.

very spacious apartment with large balcony and a great view of the city, towards the Tagus. The Contact the seller was excellent and the local settlement without complications. Thanks for this great stay.

This was the perfect place to house 7 weary travellers after 3 weeks of travelling in Europe. We were three adults, two grandparents and two teenage girls and there was plenty of room for everyone! Having two bathrooms in particular was very useful as was the lift in the building. The apartment is immaculate, the host very helpful as was D Ilda who let us in and was responsible for key/deposit hand over at either end of our stay. Couldn't beat if for location with easy access to two Metro stops (Rossio and Baixa) about 5 minutes walk away and with many of Lisboa's attractions and shops equally nearby. This is the place to stay of you are a large group and want to do Lisbon 'easily' and in style.

The apartment was beyond our expectations! Clean and tidy. We were nine people who shared the apartment and there was plenty of space. An additional plus for the large terrace where we could have dinner together.

Beautiful apartment with great view. The apartment was clean and perfect for a large group. Close to the metro and tram. A cozy neighbourhood with many restaurants and shops. De host, Jose, was friendly and helpful.
